Chapter 104: The Palace Exam

In the examination, Xu Xian had divine help, and it happened that many of the questions in the test were similar to the questions of the Chinese imperial examinations in Xu Xian's mind, and there was even one question that was exactly the same.

In general, it is a different path to the same end, and although there are deviations in history, the concerns are basically the same.

Xu Xian naturally did not copy the answers, he did not give it in vain after studying hard for three years, he only used it as a reference and wrote his own answers.

Therefore, Xu Xian's examination went smoothly and he easily got Huiyuan.

In addition to a group of deputy examiners, there are four chief examiners, and the criteria for admission are no longer influenced by the academic and political preferences of a certain chief examiner.

With the meeting of Xu Xian High School, the entire Bianjing shook, and the streets and alleys were talking about whether it was necessary to produce a big three yuan? How many years has it been since the last big three?

Subsequently, Xu Xian's information about Xiao Sanyuan in the children's test company was excavated by people.

In addition, Xu Xian is really young, just twenty years old!

You must know that on the road to the imperial examination, it is not uncommon for a 100-year-old child to be born, and how many people have been stuck in Xiucai or lifting people for a lifetime.

Knowing that he had passed the exam, Xu Xian was completely relieved.

Although there is a palace test later, the palace test only determines the ranking of the jinshi, and it is impossible to brush people down, and no matter how bad it is, it is also a fellow jinshi.

Because this is a painful lesson like blood.

And this painful lesson happened in the Dasheng Dynasty.

At that time, a scholar passed the examination and entered the temple examination, but was brushed off on the temple examination. In a fit of rage, the man defected to an enemy country in the northwest. The enemy country in the northwest was originally a country that was not very civilized, but after the scholar defected, he reused the scholar, and as a result, the enemy country in the northwest greatly increased its national strength and began to attack the Dasheng country.

Dasheng was caught off guard, suffered a lot of defeats, and even lost part of his territory.

In the end, although Dasheng defeated and repelled the enemy in the northwest, the price paid was very heavy.

Therefore, Dashengguo changed the palace examination system, and those who passed the general examination and entered the palace examination were only ranked second and did not fall off the list.

(Note: This kind of thing did happen in ancient China, in the Song Dynasty, and defected to Western Xia.) )

On March 1, the palace examination was held in the lecture hall.

Unlike the previous examinations, the palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and it was only tested for one day, and only the examination was conducted on the basis of time and policy.

Xu Xian is more confident in current affairs, because he has more knowledge of later generations for thousands of years than everyone else, and has received a complete modern education such as elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. These are inconspicuous in modern society, but they are not trivial in ancient times.

In addition, he has been traveling to Dasheng Kingdom for three years, and he already knows a lot about the society and humanities of Dasheng Kingdom and the history of previous dynasties.

Therefore, on the day of the palace examination, Xu Xian was in a very good state, and the answer sheet was flying.

When the exam came out, he was confident that he would be able to win at least the top three.

The palace examination is completed one day, and the next day is marked.

Although the palace examination is presided over by the emperor, and the final ranking is also determined by the emperor, the marking process is personally participated by a group of important ministers.

"Wonderful! Good! Haha, this is the talent of the pillars of my Dasheng country! When a minister reviewed Xu Xian's test papers, he couldn't help but applaud with excitement for Xu Xian's efficient and pragmatic countermeasures.

The other ministers were alarmed and came over one after another and asked, "Lord Liu, what is the answer to make you so out of shape?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the test paper in the hand of the minister surnamed Liu.

That Lord Liu hid Xu Xian's test paper behind him and said with a smile: "I'll show it to Li Xiang first, and you can watch it later." ”

As he spoke, he took Xu Xian's test paper with a treasure to find Prime Minister Li Gang who was reading the papers in another hall.

Although it is Enke, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, because this Enke is not an important celebration of the country or the emperor, but because of the lack of talented officials in the north, the imperial examination is urgently held to select talents.

The selection criteria for this imperial examination are more inclined to practical and pragmatic talents. The important ministers of the imperial court participated in the reading of the papers, just to learn more about the talents and learning of these new scholars, so as to facilitate the arrangement of official positions in the future.

Li Gang looked at Xu Xian's test paper, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay! It's a pillar of talent! ”

Next, he looked at the candidate's name and read, "Xu Xian? ”

He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I didn't expect him to be a pragmatic talent." ”

Of course, he had heard of Xu Xian's name, and he had heard it twice, one was the assassination of Xu Xian by the Wang family, and the other was the name of Xu Xian's poems.

At his level, he has long looked down on poetry, thinking that it is flashy and wasteful of wisdom, and it is not beneficial to the people of the country. If all poets are endowed with poetry, the country can perish.

Therefore, Xu Xian's pragmatism in his countermeasures surprised him.

After the one-day marking, Li Gang and other important ministers sorted out the list and test papers and handed them to Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding is very concerned about the palace examination, hoping to dig out more practical talents and win them into his camp.

Therefore, as soon as the list and test papers of the palace examination were sent over, he immediately reviewed them all night.

It's just that he couldn't help frowning when he saw the first name.

"Xu Xian?" Zhao Ding was puzzled, "This name is a little familiar, could it be the scholar who damaged my face?" ”

He immediately looked through the Xu Xian file in the appendix next to him, and sure enough, it was the scholar.

"This group of old immortals is intent on embarrassing me!" Zhao Ding scolded angrily in his heart, "If you want Xu Xian to be the champion, no way!" ”

However, although he was annoyed, he still patiently read Xu Xian's test paper.

After reading Xu Xian's test papers, he had to admit that Xu Xiance was really eye-catching, and he was a pragmatic pillar.

Putting Xu Xian's test papers aside, Zhao Ding then looked at the rest of the list and test papers.

Zhao Ding was in his youth, and he was determined to prosper the country, so he stayed up all night in order to review the list and test papers.

It wasn't until the sky was bright, there was an early dynasty later, and the ranking of the palace examination was to be announced, he stopped, slept on the desk for a stick of incense, and then woke up by Shi Sen, changed clothes and washed, ate a little and hurried to the morning dynasty.

On this day, the sky was very good and the sun was shining, and after Xu Xian said goodbye to Bai Suzhen at home, he got into the carriage and entered the palace.

Entering the palace, a special eunuch led Xu Xian to a side hall to wait for Emperor Zhao Ding to summon him.

When Xu Xian entered the side hall, there were already many tributes to arrive.

When they saw Xu Xian, they immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces: "Xu Huiyuan." ”

"Hello everyone." Xu Xian returned the salute.

Then Xu Xian and the group of people talked and laughed quietly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.

After all, at this point, everyone is already a successful person in the imperial examination, and no matter how bad they are, they are also a fellow jinshi, which is enough to make countless people look up to them.

A group of people talked and laughed while waiting, almost not worrying about the rankings, and more about getting to know each other.

You must know that in the future career, the same year Jinshi is a good reason for a good set of relationships.

What's more, in the same year, Jinshi basically recognized each other's talents and regarded them as the same kind.

After waiting for about half an hour, Zhao Ding was finally officially summoned in Wenhe Hall and announced the ranking in person.
